I think you have the wrong tool for the job.
Don't you need surveying equipment for this sort of work?

Of course, this will depend on where you are standing
and what direction you are looking in, but I can
think of some graphical solutions that could give
you a ballpark estimate under some extremely limited
conditions. But I hesitate to mention them unless
I know more about what is going on.

One thing is for sure. You are NOT going to find
this in the IDL documentation or the CONTOUR command,
either one. :-)

Cheers,

David
